Practical Commitments

Spiritual Example . . .

We will demonstrate our commitment to Christ through our practice of the spiritual disciplines; we will demonstrate our commitment to the Body of Christ through loyalty to God and commitment to
His Church; we will demonstrate our commitment to the work of Christ through our being good stewards.

Moral Purity . . .

We will engage in those activities that glorify God in our body and that avoid the fulfillment of the lusts of the flesh. We will read, watch and listen to those things that are of positive
benefit to our spiritual well-being.

Personal Integrity . . .

We will live in a manner that inspires trust and confidence, bearing the fruit of the Spirit, and seeking to manifest the character of Christ in all our behavior.

Family Responsibility . . .

We will give priority to fulfilling family responsibilities, to preserving the sanctity of marriage and to maintaining divine order in the home.

Behavioral Temperance . . .

We will practice temperance in behavior and will abstain from activities and attitudes that are offensive to our fellow man or that lead to addiction or enslavement.

Modest Appearance . . .

We will demonstrate the scriptural principle of modesty by appearing and dressing in a manner that will enhance our Christian testimony and avoid pride, elaborateness, or sensuality.

Social Obligation . . .

It should be our objective to fulfill our obligations to society by being good citizens, by correcting social injustices, and by protecting the sanctity of life.
